Biography

He was the pupil of Joshua ben Levi, and resided at Tyre.^[2] The prominent sages Rav Nachman and Rav Zeira saw him in a special way, and whenever there were doubts concerning his studies they would send off a messenger to ask him about it,^[2] and he would refer to him as "Master".^[3] He is often cited together with R. Samuel ben Nahman.^[4]

Teachings

He ruled that even though havdalah may be recited until Tuesday evening, the blessing on the havdalah candle may only be recited on Saturday night.^[5]
